= The Calendar Connector for Cisco Spark Hybrid is a feature that allows users to schedule and join Webex meetings from their Microsoft Exchange calendars. To integrate the Calendar Connector with Microsoft Exchange, an impersonation account is needed on the Exchange server. An impersonation account is a service account that has the permission to access other users’ calendars and send meeting invitations on their behalf. The Calendar Connector uses the impersonation account to monitor and update the users’ calendars, and to add Webex meeting details to the invitations. To create and configure an impersonation account on Microsoft Exchange, follow the steps in the deployment guide1. References := Deployment guide for Hybrid Calendar - Deploy Expressway-based Hybrid Calendar for Microsoft Exchange

Cisco WebEx Meeting Center is a cloud-based service that provides video conferencing, screen sharing, chat, and other collaboration features for online meetings. Cisco WebEx Meeting Center can support calls from end points and WebEx clients, as well as from other devices and applications. End points are devices that are registered to the Cisco WebEx cloud, such as Cisco IP Phones, Cisco video devices, and third-party devices that use SIP to connect to the WebEx Suite services. WebEx clients are applications that run on desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones, such as the WebEx app, the WebEx Meetings app, or the WebEx Teams app. Users can join WebEx meetings from end points or WebEx clients, and they can also dial in or dial outto other numbers using the WebEx cloud. The other options are not valid Cisco WebEx products that can support calls from end points and WebEx clients. Cisco WebEx Training Center, Cisco WebEx Support Center, and Cisco WebEx Event Center are specialized services that provide additional features for specific use cases, such as online training, remote support, and large-scale events. However, they do not support calls from end points or WebEx clients, and they require users to join the meetings using the WebEx Meetings app or a web browser. References: Network Requirements for Webex Services, Overview of Webex Calling, Webex Calling—Cloud Phone System

An IDE tool is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. Cisco Spark is a cloud-based collaboration platform that allows users to create, share, and communicate with each other. Cisco Spark supports various programming languages, such as Python, Java, Node.js, and C#. To develop applications for Cisco Spark, developers need an IDE tool that can work with these languages and interact with the Spark APIs. 1234, one of the IDE tools that can be used with Cisco Spark is OSX: Atom. Atom is a free and open-source text and source code editor for macOS, Linux, and Windows with support for plug-ins written in Node.js, and embedded Git Control, developed by GitHub. Atom can be customized to work with different languages and frameworks, such as Python, Java, Node.js, and C#. Atom also has a package called spark-tools that provides a set of tools for developing Cisco Spark applications, such as creating bots, webhooks, andintegrations. References := 1: Useful Developer Tools | Apache Spark 2: Create and run Spark application on cluster | IntelliJ IDEA 3: Spark development process with Python and IDE - Stack Overflow 4: Setting up IDEs — PySpark 3.5.0 documentation - Apache Spark : spark-tools package - Atom

Cisco Spark is a cloud-based collaboration platform that offers messaging, calling, meeting, and video conferencing capabilities. There are two main deployment models for Cisco Spark implementation: Spark Cloud and Spark Hybrid.

Spark Cloud is the default deployment model, where all the services and features are provided by the Cisco Spark cloud. The users can access the Cisco Spark app on their devices (such as desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones) and communicate with other users or join meetings hosted on the cloud. The users can also use Cisco Spark-registered devices, such as IP phones, video endpoints, or room systems, to access the cloud services. The Spark Cloud deployment model is suitable for organizations that want a simple, scalable, and secure cloud solution without the need for any on-premises infrastructure or integration.

Spark Hybrid is an optional deployment model, where some of the services and features are provided by the Cisco Spark cloud, while others are provided by the existing on-premises infrastructure, such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), Cisco Expressway, or Cisco TelePresence Server. The Spark Hybrid deployment model allows the organizations to leverage their existing investments and integrate the Cisco Spark cloud with their on-premises systems. The Spark Hybrid deployment model offers several hybrid services, such as hybrid call service, hybrid calendar service, hybrid directory service, hybrid media service, and hybrid message service. The Spark Hybrid deployment model is suitable for organizations that want to extend the functionality and reach of their on-premises systems and enable seamless collaboration across different environments.

The other options are not valid deployment models for Cisco Spark implementation. CMR stands for Cisco Collaboration Meeting Room, which is a solution that enables users to join meetings from any device, whether it is registered to the Cisco Spark cloud or the on-premises infrastructure. CMR is not a deployment model, but a feature that can be used in both Spark Cloud and Spark Hybrid deployment models. Spark Premises is not a valid option, as Cisco Spark is a cloud-based platform and does not offer a fully on-premises deployment option. References: Cisco Spark Deployment Models, Cisco Spark Hybrid Services, Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR)

According to the Cisco documentation1, the Conductor uses the source IP addresses of the incoming calls to determine which subzone they belong to, and then applies the appropriate search rules to route them to the appropriate conference bridge. The conference IP addresses, location IP addresses, and management IP addresses are not used by the Conductor for this purpose. References: 1: Cisco Video Infrastructure Design Guide, Chapter 4: Cisco Conductor, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/design/guides/videodg/vidguide/conductor.html#pgfId-1060629

= Enterprise settings on Cisco Spark determine where user information comes from. Enterprise settings allow the administrator to configure the identity source for Cisco Spark users, either from the Cisco Collaboration Cloud or from an external directory service such as Active Directory. Enterprise settings also allow the administrator to enable or disable single sign-on (SSO) for Cisco Spark users, using a third-party identity provider such as Okta or Ping Identity. Enterprise settings also control the user license assignment and the user synchronization frequency123 References := 1Cisco Spark Control Hub Administration Guide 2Cisco Spark Control Hub - Manage Your Organization’s Settings 3Cisco Spark Control Hub - Manage Users

 The H.323 standard defines the protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet network1 The H.323 standard uses a number of protocols to establish and control multimedia sessions, such as voice and video calls. Two of the protocols used in the H.323 standard are H.245 and Q.931.

H.245 is a protocol that is used for media control and logical channel signaling2 H.245 allows the endpoints to negotiate the media capabilities, such as the codec, the bit rate, and the format, and to open and close the logical channels for media transmission. H.245 also provides functions for conference control, such as floor control, chair control, and multipoint mode. H.245 messages are exchanged between the endpoints using TCP or UDP.

Q.931 is a protocol that is used for call signaling and connection control3 Q.931 is based on the ISDN protocol and is adapted for packet networks. Q.931 allows the endpoints to set up, maintain, and terminate the calls, and to exchange information such as the call identity, the call type, the call state, and the reason for call release. Q.931 messages are exchanged between the endpoints using TCP.

The other options are not protocols used in the H.323 standard. SDP is a protocol that is used to describe the media session parameters, such as the media type, the codec, the port number, and the encryption method. SDP is used in conjunction with SIP, but not with H.323. SIP is another protocol that is used to establish and control multimedia sessions on packet networks, but it is not part of the H.323 standard. SIP is an alternative to H.323 and has a different architecture, syntax, and functionality. 802.1 is a standard that defines the LAN protocols, such as the MAC address, the VLAN, the spanning tree, and the link aggregation. 802.1 is not related to the H.323 standard, which operates at the application layer. References: H.323 - Wikipedia, H.245 - Wikipedia, Q.931 - Wikipedia

12, the Expressway can authenticate devices and users locally or remotely using different methods, such as passwords, certificates, or LDAP. When the Expressway uses local authentication, it verifies the credentials against its local authentication database, which stores the username and password of each account. The password is stored as a salted hash, which means that it is encrypted with a random value to prevent unauthorized access. The username and password are the two elements of authentication credentials that are stored in the local database of the Expressway. The other options, such as crypto hash key, user authority, and CA authority, are not stored in the local database of the Expressway. A crypto hash key is a value that is used to encrypt or decrypt data, but it is not stored in the local database. A user authority is a level of access or privilege that a user has on the Expressway, but it is not stored in the local database. A CA authority is a trusted entity that issues and validates digital certificates, but it is not stored in the local database. References := Cisco Expressway Administrator Guide (X14.0) - Device AuthenticationCisco Expressway Administrator Guide (X14.0) - User Accounts

• The Expressway solution can be peered with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to allow for greater capabilities. This is true because the Expressway-C can connect to the Unified CM via a SIP trunk or a line-side connection, and the Expressway-E can enable firewall traversal and business-to-business communications for the Unified CM endpoints12.
• The Expressway series can never operate as a standalone call-control solution. This is false because the Expressway series can act as a standalone call-control solution for SIP and H.323 endpoints, and can provide interworking between them13.
• The Expressway series requires the peering with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to act as a call-control device. This is false because the Expressway series does not depend on the Unified CM for call-control functionality, although it can enhance the Unified CM capabilities when peered with it13.
• The Expressway series may operate as a standalone call-control solution. This is true because the Expressway series can support SIP and H.323 endpoints without requiring the Unified CM, and can also provide session management and interworking features13.
• The Expressway series only supports SIP-based communications. This is false because the Expressway series supports both SIP and H.323 protocols, and can interwork between them13. References := 1: Cisco Expressway Administrator Guide (X14.0) - Introduction 2: Cisco Expressway Administrator Guide (X15.0) - Unified Communications 3: Concept of Zones Demystified On Cisco Expressway Series

• Cisco Expressway is a video gateway that enables interoperability between different video endpoints and protocols. It consists of two components: Expressway core and Expressway edge1.
